I spent over 16 hours over this 4th of July weekend painting and cleaning an apartment that we rent out. Our last tenants just bought a house and moved out last week. To help keep me company, I listened to the following messages while I worked. All good, so I thought I'd share them as recommendations:
Churches should certainly spend some time teaching about personal faith and life. I call these messages "Jesus and me" sermons. A great "Jesus and me" series is Kyle Idleman's 3 part Cumulative Effect series. I actually listened to all 3 messages 3 times while I worked. So good.
Cumulative Effect Part 1
Cumulative Effect Part 2
Cumulative Effect Part 3
You might see more from me regarding the 52 day challenge mentioned in the parts 2 and 3.
Churches should also spend time teaching about corporate faith and life. I call these messages "Jesus and we" sermons. A "Jesus and me" Gospel alone is inadequate and makes our God and our theology so small. We don't understand mission without a "Jesus and we" emphasis. I listened to 2 great "Jesus and we"sermons yesterday in John Ortberg's latest series at Menlo Park:
Overcoming your Shadow Mission/The King
Overcoming your Shadow Mission/Esther
And finally, before hitting Pandora to listen to music for awhile, I listened to one more sermon out of Community Christian Church. I was curious how they would approach the subject of voting for president in their sermon: "Choose your President"...the last part of their Decision 2016 series. Check it out to find out for yourself!
Choose your President
